    How do "group buys" work for the main buyer??

    Who is going to be inspecting your bank account? I'm fairly sure the police would need a warrant for that, and they wouldn't be getting a warrant unless they were already investigating you. ^^ This. The cops/ATO/whoever could easily see who sent you the money, and ask them why (unless you...

    What environment is best for dealers? Low, high or volatile prices?

    But the dealer doesn't buy and sell for the same price. Eg. You buy 100x 1966 50c (from W. Davis): You pay $905 You sell 100x 1966 50c (to W. Davis): You get $855 back (enough to buy 94 coins) You buy 94x 1966 50c (from W. Davis): $850.7 You sell 94x 1966 50c (to W. Davis): You get $803 back...

    Authentic or After-market Coloured Koala Coin

    Cool link, I hadn't seen that before. Too bad, I was been hoping there'd be a gilded Kook this year, but it doesn't look like it.

    So I found a 1995 Panda...

    Hey All, So yesterday I picked up this 1995 1/2oz Silver Panda (Large Date I believe). It's condition isn't great, but at only $35 I figured it was worth the cost. I've googled, but where can I find more info? Also, it looks like it's been handled, and there's some crap accumulated around...

    The Bullion Brotherhood

    If you were to do it, it would need to be part of a set that people are already collecting, otherwise people would just ignore it. You'd basically need to place pre-orders so you could get 80%+ of the stock, wait as the 20% you didn't get is trading and the prices go up, then release them slowly.

    Has low balling reached end game, or is it just a case of no buyers?

    I'd be blaming the recent jump in spot. Prices went up 15% in a week (for no obvious reason), have stayed there for a week or so, and is now falling back to where it was before. If (like me) you're expecting spot to end up back where it was before, then gold is still ~$80/oz over where I'm...

    New Here but old stacker, stacking again

    I don't get the point of buying ASEs. They have basically zero numi value (current ones anyway), but you pay a higher premium than bars. Personally, I'm buying bars and Lunars, with the intention to start adding Panda's soon.

    Automation & Mechinisation + Google's Artificial Intelligence

    I work in the industry and I have to say, Sorry Maxwell, but it's more about productivity than wages. 200 train drivers, even at $160k/year, will take 15 - 20 years to pay off. That's not much return on investment. But if this enables them to run an extra train per day (no down-time to change...

    Stacker bar types

    Just a newb question: Do they all stack together, or do you need to buy all the same ones if you want that?

    Does that have anything to do with the Bitcoins seized when Silk Road was closed down by the US government?

    Asian retirement

    I've met plenty of guys who live in SE Asia, but most of them have married women over there. From what I understand, Indonesia (Bali) and the Philippines are both easy to live in, but you can't own the land as a foreigner.

    What size do I buy?

    Perth Mint and PAMP 10oz and 1kg bars seem easy to trade. If you buy bars on the "Good Delivery List", they should always be easy to sell: http://www.lbma.org.uk/pages/index.cfm?page_id=4

    $19.70 A Good Lockin Price To Buy?

    I'm in Australia, and AFAIK they don't ship here at all. Anyone know of stores that ship free within Australia? My work is located near Perth Mint and Perth Bullion (Bullion Bourse). I can get to either and back again during my lunch break. But even if I had to pay postage, it's hard to find...

    $19.70 A Good Lockin Price To Buy?

    For the 10oz bars, even with the higher spot price Perth Mint is still cheaper than anywhere else I've found (by about $10) and I don't have to pay postage.

    $19.70 A Good Lockin Price To Buy?

    Anyone know how Perth Mint source their spot prices? Silver dropped overnight, but it's been higher on the Perth Mint Bullion site all day. Right now, the Kitco graph up the top says AUD21.97, but Perth Mint says $22.43. It's not massive, but when the premium on a 10oz bar is $21, an extra $5...
